Tips on visiting Ankor Wat?!
Re: Tips on visiting Ankor Wat?!
How do you know that that person was a nutter?
Do you assume that just because he/she/it/they needed money?
Seems pretty cold/harsh if you think people asking for help are "nutters".
Normally those that are quick to judge are gaslighting (ie seeing themselves in other people).

Re: Tips on visiting Ankor Wat?!
unless ur in amazing condition and used to the heat , forget the bicycle, the distances are not small. Just to get to the temple is 5-6 kms from downtown.
a tuk tuk will set ya back Max $15-20... well worth the price as you enter at one end of the temples, ( except angkor) and he drives around and meets ya at the other end, with bicycle you need walk back.
do the 4 am sunrise, back home at 10:30 for nap, lunch, return at 3 for the sunset/ home at 7.
Buy the excellent book "Ancient Angkor "
I also recommend a visit to the Museum in town BEFORE you head out to the temples, set aside 2 hours to explore

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

So you are saying I could run there and back?

Re: Tips on visiting Ankor Wat?!
But visiting the temples is not a race. Trust me, I have lived, and raced, in the region for 20+ years but traipsing through temples in this heat is another matter entirely. Bike is OK, but running/walking?IDGAF wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2019 3:58 pmOnce did a triathlon in 45*C temps.John Bingham wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2019 3:55 pm It's very hot at the moment, I wouldn't advise cycling.
Came 1st in the open age group so I wasnt struggling.
Water is your friend in the heat.

Take an umbrella for shade. It will be really hot, dusty and dry.

Re: Tips on visiting Ankor Wat?!
I think he was suggesting that a man in your incredible physical shape with exceptional good looks could probably hop one-legged on the ay out to Angkor Wat and return doing handstands with two of the many Korean tourists you will no doubt absolutely charm with your fabulous personality, strapped to your inverted back. At least that is the way I interpreted it.

Not sure why you are so passive aggressive because some people are fitter/tougher than you are?
Sorry to burst your bubble.
Re: Tips on visiting Ankor Wat?!
Not saying it was, or that I would run around it, just saying that its possible.
Prob only do 2-3 hours out there as I am not that much into temples etc.
Heading to Cairo next week so am hanging out for that really.
